Growing up in the 90s, my blog will not do justice if I did not pay tribute Michael Jackson. In my favourite list of music tracks, I have Billy Jean and Beat it. I happened to chance upon them in this century only (you may ask where was I in the last). Putting it in perspective, Billy Jean and Beat it were released in 1983 and I still hear them in clubs now.I was in shock when my dad told me he died. While there were the Elvis and Beatles who could be more famous, MJ was someone I can identify with, someone who has revolutionized music and what pop music comes to being as we know it today. MJ epitomes FAMOUS and ICONIC. Not your run-off-the mill F4, Farenheit, SHE, 6655 or 1234(??), MJ even with its initials are easily identifable throughout the world over.
A pity. A pity that in recent years, he was cruxified by the media. Wouldn't they leave him alone? He is truly a musical legend who has made a difference to the world. A legend who has brought life and color to our otherwise mandune lives. A legend who comes along once a century or a lifetime. I am very fortunate to be born in his era and to have enjoyed his music and gravity-defying dance moves. The world will miss you.
